The staff at the Hotel Asia in Pokhara had treated as extremely well and at the end of our time there we have become extremely friendly.
Imagine our surprise when the duty manager Shyam presented us with a new Nepali hat a red mark on our foreheads and a sash.
Incredibly for the first time the hats fitted!!
Maybe this was a good sign?
On arriving at the airport we found our luggage was in excess of the 15 kg limit but thanks to the Rotary connection we believe this was not challenged.
We boarded the plane a small jet stream turboprop aircraft which would make the journey in 35 minutes (as opposed to a 6 1/2 hour road trip!!)
The delightful lady cabin crew member brought sweets and coffee for those passengers who require them.
She was extremely helpful and when photographed insisted on seeing it then also reciprocated by taking a photograph of the two tired Rotarians, which was nice estimation mark
We can recommend Yeti Airways as the journey was effortless.
We met in Narayan at Kathmandu airport and after a journey of around half an hour we arrived back at the Kathmandu resort hotel in the middle of the city. Room 304 on the fourth floor was an absolute joy, NOT. Unfortunately, the blessing of the holy man have not been successful and I realised I had lost my wallet. Hopefully it would be in Narayan's Car!!
Fortunately, being a good friend Duncan never mentioned it to anyone? He mentioned it to everyone.
As planned we met with Major Bhim that evening and after a short walk we enjoyed a sumptuous dinner of Nepali food in the Thamil restaurant including than the local distilled rice wine roxie!!
About 1030 the evening drew to a close and after some difficulty with ATM machines and the possibility of both of us washing the pots in the restaurant,. we did manage to find a card that worked. Ah the joys of Kathmandu.
